In this week’s episode I spoke with Bret Voelkel, owner of RideTech. I specifically wanted to learn more about their new line of Instinct Shocks absorbers as they caught my attention at the 2016 SEMA Show.

These shocks are electronically adjustable “learning” shocks that (effectively) adjust themselves to the condition, speed, load, and driving style of the car and driver they’ve been assigned to. The goal? Maximum performance – or comfy driving – whichever you want at the time!
 

The Instinct package comes with a set of four shock absorber’s with a control module, wiring, sensors, and everything needed to install into your muscle car. RideTech will put on an initial tuning profile based upon your cars weight, size, and a few other characteristics.

The purchase price of the system is $10,500, which Bret realizes is fairly pricey….but it’s just the reality of a system of this scope. Since that’s the case RideTech will have a couple different cars setup with these systems available at various driving events so interested people can test ride and see if they are something they want.

You can find out more about RideTech and Instinct shocks at RideTech.com. You can keep up with events and happenings on Facebook too at Facebook.com/ridetech.

See you at the Autocross and thanks for the interview Bret!
